Stevie Wonder sends blunt message to world leaders
Published in Entertainment News
Stevie Wonder has urged the world's leaders to "get their s*** together".
The iconic musician insisted anyone in a position of power should be using their platform to "bring peace to all the world".
Speaking to the crowd during a concert in Birmingham in the UK on Monday (07.07.25), he said: "I believe we need the leaders of the world, to take advantage of what they've been given to do - to bring peace to all the world.
"I don't care who you are, you could be a president or a prime minister, it doesn't matter. Get your s*** together!"
Back in January, the Isn't She Lovely hitmaker was asked for his opinion on Donald Trump's inauguration after the President of the United States returned to the White House.
Stevie, 74, told TMZ at the time: "Guess what? I don't follow politics anymore.
"It's too much bulls***. You know what I follow? The truth."
In August 2024, he appeared at the Democratic National Convention and insisted the choice between Trump and his then presidential rival Kamala Harris was "clear".
He told the crowd: "Now is the time to understand where we are and what it will take to win: win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits--now is the time.
"This is the moment to remember when you tell your children when you tell your children where you were and what you did.
"As we stand between history's pain and tomorrow's promises, we must choose courage over complacency. It is time to get UP and go vote!"
Months later, during a tour in November 2024, Stevie called for unity.
He said during a concert: "America as a whole needs to come together, because there's always someone - or some country somewhere - that wants to take away the concept of democracy and what it means.
"The reality is, we have to get to a place where we say, 'Listen, we all need to come together.' "
And Stevie insisted while some celebrities might shy away from talking about certain issues, he only answers to God.
He added: "I think people are so scared of being canceled or being talked about - all this stupidness that goes on.
"God is my manager, so I've been given permission to manage myself. I allow people I trust around me to give me their feedback.
"I listen to them. But ultimately, I'm going to make my own decisions."
